Review on Convenient Aquarium Wi-Fi Fish Feeder: Automatic Timer for Your Fish Tank's Nutrition by Mohammad Pesqueira

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreliable - Bad design - Bad quality - Don't buy!

wifi controlled feeder idea is very good better than timer only feeder. You can activate this feeder from your smartphone while you are away if needed. I've also installed webcams so I can watch my tanks while I'm feeding to make sure the feeder is spinning and releasing food and that the fish are eating well. build quality. This is a Chinese copy of the twin. All wireless networks found on Revain are clones. This brand is a new badge with a different tank mount. There are several brands of the same model, none of which have been redesigned or improved since I bought my first a few years ago. (I have nine aquariums in my fish room) This version comes without a power supply (which you must purchase separately) Mechanism tends to bind or skip (internal gears don't mesh properly) or spin endlessly but not rotate the food container. Electrical connection is via a very small, fragile USB connector held in place with hot melt adhesive. Any pressure on the cable will break this connector. The Wi-Fi radio is only available on the 2.4GHz band (but not on the increasingly popular 5GHz band). This requires a strong signal from the router. A weak signal can disconnect the wire, a problem that cannot be solved when you are away from home (and local access to your smartphone is required to reset the connection). This brand costs about 25% more than others I own. Bought and used, but it doesn't have a power adapter (it'll cost you even more to run it). . Your aquariums are no longer feeding! It appears to be the only Wi-Fi model available (of several icon clone brands), but they all suffer from the same problems. It's totally useless! Another piece of cheap junk from China. Hey raven! I'd happily pay you a few dollars more for quality stuff that actually works! Total waste of my time.
